ear mites

Agree with both of you! I don't stick anything in Luna's ears unless I can SEE where I'm sticking it and I spend the bucks for good materials :D . If a dog isn't cooperating, there's no way you can see well enough. Ear cleaning is a cooperative thing for Luna and me and she has become very good about it. Using the soaked cotton has all but eliminated the need to retrieve chunks, though, so between that and her diet, ear problems are practically nonexistent. :)

Ok this is a really stupid question - but what is rolled cotton? I've only used cotton balls and I don't recall seeing any other kind of cotton in the stores. Where would I get it? I like the idea of wrapping cotton around my finger to help get the junk out. Thanks for the ideas and help.

Rolled cotton comes in a rectangular box about 7" long x 3" high x 3" wide. It's a sheet of cotton rolled up in paper and you can tear any size piece off that you want.

You can find it in the first aid section of any drug store. :)

Thank you so much - I never thought of looking in the first aid section.

Patty don't you know there's no such thing as a stupid question:D .

Moondog your description of rolled cotton was great!

Patty if you have any other questions please don't hesitate to ask. There's always someone around to answer them:D . Let us know how it goes for you and remember to warm the solution, although in the vets office it isn't warm .
